Nate Robinson Wins Dunk Contest, Credits God


The NBA Slam Dunk Contest was putting courtside greats and the TV audience to sleep for much of the once-interesting NBA All-Star Weekend. When the event finally got down to the finals, it was fun to watch "Superman" Dwight Howard (6'11) going against the puny Nate Robinson at just about Howard's waist.
After the Orlando Magic star dunked on an 11' foot rim with ease in the semi-finals with his Superman cape on, Nate Robinson bested him in his kryptonite green outfit from head to toe.
Howard was a big enough man to be used as a prop for Robinson as the little New York Knick "flew" over the back of the giant and slammed his way to another slam dunk title.
In the post-event interview, Robinson was asked about LeBron James wanting to get in next year and he was very humble and just gave thanks to God. Great job little man.
